Beautiful paths to explore nature! The walking trails are all very well kept and signs are easy to locate. They have many different paths to choose from and each one holds it’s own adventure. Great place to bring the kids, paths are plenty wide and flat enough to easily push strollers on. Many trash and recycling receptacles are located along the paths so please do be kind and use them. They have a portable potty at the main entrance. The nature center itself is closed right now due to the pandemic, but still many outdoor areas to see. Great place to get out and exercise too, the steps are a cardio workout all by themselves and we saw many people running, biking, and walking their leashed dogs. Plenty of parking available and many of the paths are paved and handicap accessible but not all are due to steps and unpaved areas off the main paths.

It is an amazing preservation of nature. You can walk numerous trails that all seem to connect to a huge staircase of 156 stairs along a cliff side. The stair case was recently redone and it is in very good shape. It is very secure. Its a great work out! Im not sure if the actual nature center is open but it is a great way to enjoy the metroparks and to see some nice plants you may not know of!

Amazing trails on the ground level and cliff level! 2 sets of stairs, one very steep and one much less steep. Was able to climb and descend both sets easily with my 6 year old. Some trails are easy to get lost in as there are barely any signs for directions.

This is a great place to bring children and dogs or to come by yourself. I think the inside is wheelchair accessible. There is a reading play/tree house inside and animals to look at. There is an observation deck to view the river. Outside there are beautiful walking trails and a grand sraircase that provides great exercise, requires great exertion and offers a beautiful view of the river. One of my favorites.

It was a nice fall day to drive or walk throughout the Metro Parks!! The nature center store wasnt open, the trails were open. Relaxing and leaves changing. Nature

I love the Nature Center. Its a peaceful place to be. You definitely will see wildlife such as deer, hawk, chipmunks, squirrels and many different birds. Every now and than you would see turtles in the pond sunbathing...lol!

One of my favorite places to go! Lots to learn and lots to see. There are many trails to walk and a future upcoming project, they are adding a special bridge to the area. I love how easy it is to learn about all the different plants and trees that are in the parks. You can find custom display cards telling you what kind of plant or tree that is there, it also tells you how they are important. Very clean place to be and I myself have never seen anything out of place or anything dangerous. There is a lot to do with your children and if you like to run and exercise, this is your place to be. Go make a memory today, go out and play.

Nature center is closed due to covid. The park around the center is beautiful. Many walking trails with forest views and cliffs by the river. Recommend 135 steps to see a gorgeous view of the river or having a Rocky feeling when you reach the top step.

A nice piece of the metroparks with several trail options as well as a look out point. The center itself was closed so we couldnt go inside. Watched a blue heron fishing in the pond though!

Just BEAUTIFUL!! Enough said.

So many trails, so much beauty!

Great trails! I love bringing my dog here to swim in the river! WAY too many people keep their dogs off leash though. There are plenty of signs saying dogs must be on a leash I have had many dogs run from their owner toward me which is intimidating since most are very large dogs.

Headquarters for the great nature preserve in spanning Rocky River, North Olmsted, Fairview Park, etc. Great place to begin a nature walk/hike.

Beautiful park. Lots of different trails. Dogs allowed. Want to go back and try some of the other trails!

Great trails and a great way to social distance with family members. Fall foliage is at its peak.

Always a fun place to visit. Nature has plenty of displays with information detailing the local plant and animal life. Big tree house for the kids to play inside. Wonderful views on the decks over looking the Rocky River. They also have a store and library on site. They put on plenty of activities throughout the year for Adults and kids alike. Surrounded by trails it has a bit everything from the weekend walker to those looking to work up a sweat. Always check back to see what new and interesting events they have going on.

Beautiful place to walk and enjoy the changing of the leaves.

Beautiful! As I walked around feeling lost all day I literally ask for my mind to be blown. Thats when Ill talk landed on the post right next to me! Maybe does this all the time, but in the end Im taking it just an honor that he chose to sit right next to me

Very beautiful nature center with a lot of trails to walk. You can bite watch, Spend about an hour or so inside the AC at the nature center. Then get back on explore.

Always a great adventure. So beautiful and we enjoy racing up all the steps! Then we cool off by wading in the river below.

This place is amazing. The trails are constantly maintained and the Nature Center is a great place to take kids.

A fantastic, well-developed nature center with many things to do and see. They have managed to accomplish a very cozy effect. They had a lot of cool displays and the indoor bird watching area is phenomenal, with plenty of seating. There are great trails from the nature center and its a great place to bird watch.

Great place for a walk. Love the steps up to the ridge. Always well maintained!

Great place to take your kids, animals, or your self to just walk and clear your mind

Incredible hidden forests, full of great walking trails and SO. MANY. STAIRS.

Lovely place to hike and take a zillion pictures of the views.

We love the Rocky River reservation and nature center. The hiking trails are great and the nature center is always fun for our daughter.

Great place to go hiking/exploring on your days off or to take your dog for a walk

Such a lovely place to visit in every season! The nature center has something for everyone- reading room, live animals, bird watching area, kids area, gift shop, hiking trails and so much more. We attended the popular Birds of Prey event - free, well organized, educational, fun, live birds. Highly recommend you stop in for a visit plus the river is beautiful.

Four fabulous walking trails, a wonderful visitor center and a great view of the river. What’s nice is each trail is different. There is one want high hilltop with a steep staircase. One is long and flat. In the summer you can follow the Lagoon Trail and see turtles sunning themselves on the logs. This place would be great for anyone of any age group to enjoy.

Lovely nature center and very nice hiking trail with stunning views. I took my kids and we spent a very nice afternoon there & we all loved the place. I didnt know there were ancient earthworks around here! They were small but fascinating.

Great view from the overlook! The hike up is worth it and make sure to follow the trail around the top of the hill top. The nature center itself is very interesting with many reptiles and various fish. The nature center would be great for children also.

Great. Place to explore

I always love to come here and walk the trails. Not many people are taking covid measures seriously so be cautious and bring a mask.

So cool and peaceful. LOVE the stairs for a great workout! 155 stairs up and a beautiful view as a reward! Everyone is so nice too. Always encouraging and smiling (and usually sweaty too lol)

Beautiful fall foliage. Come visit before its over. We even saw a bald eagle today

Great place for walking or biking the trails. The nature center is cool to visit as well.

Always something interesting to see and do here. Snakes, fish and turtles are on display. There is a free library with many books to read.

Love the trails and the upgrades. Nice and open with plenty of trails to choose from.

First time here and my family loved it. The info center is very informative. My son had fun playing in the tree house. The trails were fun to walk great exercise. Climbing to the top of the stairs was very rewarding once you make it to the top.

Excellent place to hike or just enjoy nature !

What a lovely, lovely park. We had a flight delay that kept us in Ohio and a little time the next day. Looked this place up online and decided to check it out before our flight. Stunning, stunning place with lots of surprises. Its well cared for; very informative with lots of signs here and there; great views; and theres just something about Ohio woodlands... Next time, the park wont just be an add on.

Nice trails . Beautiful place considering its right between a city and an airport

First time coming and we had a great time. We enjoyed the museum and then went on a nice nature walk.

Visiting here is a great way to experience Ohios nature scene first hand!

I love coming here. Taking walks and just taking in the views...its amazing. The trails are really direct and the natural layout is just perfectly.

Love my valley anytime of the year.

Beautiful, new nature center with a porch that overlooks the Rocky River. Nice trails, but some could use more signage.

I love walking here! The views are great and the trails are always well maintained!

I came here the first time on a date an fell in love with the park. I decided to come back several days later and love it more its a wonderful place to come and just enjoy the day exercise or just get away for a while

Such a beautiful park! Well marked you cant get lost

Fort Hill Stairs challenging workout. Trails are serene and so green

Beautiful place to go ahead in in the fall all year round but the fall expecially the trees are so beautiful and the river runs so clear in the bright Sun the further man gets away from nature the further away he just from his self.

Easy hiking trails, beautiful views. Currently under construction but easily navigable.

We love the Nature Center...the exhibits are great & the staff is wonderful..Great for kids... the trails & wildlife areas go for miles..

Probably my favorite section of the Metroparks!

It had beautiful scenery, just wish the city would clean the debris of shopping carts, other metal and garbage

Great park and trails for an evening walk.

The majestic sceneries and Nature Walks here are medicinal for ones heart, mind and soul. Its like walking into a Sanctuary of Divine Presence. The energy here is powerful. The wildlife and sounds. The Earth natural aromas are very therapeutic. Just rise and get healed. Very sacred place.

Beautiful nature center with exhibits and a few live animals (milk snake, garter snake). Really friendly staff - they are very nice to the dogs. The stairs up the trail in the back lead to a nice view of the gorge. Beautiful nature trails all around. This is one of the hidden gems of Cleveland.

Lots of nature, not much else to be said. Some pretty great views as you cross bridges, go around the winding paths and climb to the edge of the overlooks. Also, check out the small museum they have there.

I take my kids here about 3-4 times a month. Its such a great place to take kids, especially with all of their new updates!! It feels more welcome in there. I do love the fact you can bring in your family dog (as long as its kid-friendly of course), they love when people bring Im their furry family friends. Definitely my go to!! If you come and visit Cleveland. Make sure this is one of your stops! You wont regret it.

Love it. Ive been coming here ever since my family moved to the area many many years ago. The trails are nice. It is well kept. I love the Nature Center. It is so much fun. I feel energized when I come here and am out in nature. They have a lot of fun things to do. The live animals they have are cool to see. This is definitely a place for families and people of all ages

The inside of a nature center has a lot of different creatures that you can learn about and the trail is nice and I love the stairs

Great space for hiking, wonderful views & of course the crazy tall stairs(other routes up as well). Indoor treehouse & other activities for kids. Dogs allowed inside!

My family loves this place! Great things for the kids, great walking trails.

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The new stairs are AWESOME and the Nature Center is always full of great activities for everyone. This is a definite must and will be back even more.

A great place to take the kids in the nature center or get some serious exercise going up the stairs.

Always a great visit... the nature center is super neat, and the kids love it...

Ive been visiting the nature center trail for over 20 years. Its a great place to choose how far you go on the trails. I love seeing the wildlife and it also is a good way to lift my spirits. Highly recommend it.

After a difficult cancer throat operation for the second time I spend and my dog (Shorty)a beautiful spirited dashhound whom really help me recover, he passed away a few years ago I missed him very much, this was the area of Metro Park I have good memories.

As always another beautiful day at the Metroparks.

What a beautiful peaceful place to have and enjoy so close to home. Walking in nature is so therapeutic and refreshing.

Great trails and programs and a great place for kids to hang out indoors when its cold outdoors

We are blessed in Cleveland to have such precious, stunning parks so close by. Of the Metro Parks this, perhaps is one of the more humble, but is still full of things to do and its a gem. The Nature Center is a great way to start or end a hike, or visit it in its own. The staff were friendly and answered my questions. Outside the trails were short, but have some steep hill climbs and the views from the hill tops are pretty. A good place for kids or those who cant hike long distances. Go and enjoy!

Um if you need a review on the nature center, just go.

The trailes in the area have some breath taking views.

Beautiful nature center. Great trails. My nephew also loved it.

Cute little place to visit. My kids love it. Quite alot for them to see and do. We have a attended quite a few great events here. Beautiful scenery and walking trails. If you have little ones you really should pay a visit.

Best place to take my daughter on walks

Awesome nature center here for the birds of prey presentation they have every year at this time highly recommend !

Love this place! Very good for exercising!!!

Great trails for walking the dog

Always a great place to walk and the nature center is very nicely done too

Love it. Great place to visit. Clean, peaceful... Beautiful foliage. My kids (we) like the wildlife, they (we) really love this place....

Enjoyable even in winter weather

This is a favorite place of our littles (3 and 4).

Beautiful and tranquil. There is a sleeping bumble bee inside this flower

Love this place! Beautiful! Always clean.

Magnificent resource to get your, your childrens, and/or your grandchildrens faces out of their electronic devices while you and they get some much-needed exercise.

Helpful staff, great resources, nice rockers for bird watching, a respite from the cold during winter hikes.

One of my favorite parks in the emerald necklace. The nature center is the crown Jewel and the gateway to quite a few fantastic trails with Fort Hill being one of the best.

I was able to see a eagle in a tree at least 5 feet away so you can imagine how fun it is

Has some interesting exhibits and friendly staff to help if you need info. Best of all it has a clean bathroom and is a good hub and homebase for many great trails. I think its worth the effort to climb the stairs up fort hill.

Has rocking chairs to watch the birds at the bird feeders. Can watch the honey bees too.

Birds of prey, Ohio Falconry and Medina Raptor center was awesome

Our favorite place to go! Love that it has an indoor area, a little playhouse, the giant staircase and the little outdoor deck overlooking the river!

My favorite place to walk.

Beautiful environment, clean, and overall good atmosphere. Highly enjoyed and recommended. Had a good day

There was a very kind employee who helped myself & the woman who I do caregiving for. Thank you! She really enjoyed our trip to the nature center!
